The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded the University of New Hampshire $291,874 through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on June 15, 2026, to support the Multibeam Advisory Committee (MAC) in advancing seafloor mapping technology across the U.S. academic research fleet. The project, which runs through May 31, 2031, provides technical guidance and coordination for multibeam echosounder systems on research vessels operated through the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). Core deliverables include participation in system installations, calibration and acceptance testing, development of best practices for data acquisition and processing, and an automation pilot program to improve workflow efficiency and data consistency across select vessels. UNH will provide annual performance reports summarizing system health, fleet-wide status, and progress on automation initiatives. This award strengthens the nation's shared scientific infrastructure by ensuring consistent and reliable ocean data collection critical for understanding ocean processes, assessing natural hazards, and managing marine resources. The project also supports workforce development through hands-on technical training in sonar systems and data processing methodologies. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.Federal Grant Award Summary
